Softcover. Condition: Very good. First edition. First edition. 8vo. Original luridly-pictorial stapled wrappers. One of the splendidly salacious 'Hank Janson' titles. Frances enjoyed great success with his hardboiled US-style thrillers written under this pseudonym, opening the way for a variety of copycat British authors writing in a similar vein, but they did also court controversy when a murder supposedly inspired by one of the Hank Janson titles led to the publishers being taken to court and successfully prosecuted for obscenity (the author managed to avoid a similar fate on it seems a technicality). A little staining visible to lower joint of wrappers, overall very good. Book.
